The next morning, as soon as Song Yao woke up, Song He came to her tent.

"elder sister."

Song Yao rubbed her eyes and looked at Song He, her voice still a little hoarse, "Ah He, what's wrong?"

Song He walked to the bedside. "Sister, I heard from my eldest brother that you captured a few people from the Blood Mist Cult in the city yesterday? Did you ask them about Huaying?"

Song Yao turned serious in an instant, "I asked, and they said they didn't know Huaying."

Song He sat on the edge of the bed, feeling a little annoyed and said, "Sister, you are so stupid. If you just ask for their name, they definitely won't know it. You should ask them if they have been to Fengzhou, or who has been to Fengzhou!"

"..."

Song Yao laughed dumbly and sat up. "Ah He, I didn't expect you to become smarter after getting pregnant."

Song He turned her head away, her ears reddening. "It wasn't me who said that. I went to see the prince first, and that's why he said that."

Taking a deep breath, Song Yao said, "Those Blood Mist Cult members from yesterday have probably been beheaded by now. If you want to ask about the others, you have to capture the others!"

"With so many girls missing, the three of them definitely can't handle it. There must be other accomplices. Let's go find them first. There's no rush. We'll reach the capital sooner or later anyway." Song He pursed her lips, her expression suddenly becoming serious. "Sister, Huaying is a very, very good girl. We can't just let her be captured like this. Whether she's dead or alive, we have to find out first."

Song Yao sighed and said, "I know Huaying is good, but she's been captured for so long, and those three Blood Mist Cult members are probably dead too... Ah, I should ask them where the Blood Mist Cult's lair is, oh..."

Song Yao held her forehead with her hand. Only now did she realize that she should have asked.

It's true that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years.

Song Yao hurriedly got out of bed and said, "Let's go over and see if those people are dead. If they are not dead, we can ask them clearly!"

"Ah He, go find my eldest brother and ask him to prepare the horse. We will go to the city now."

"Okay, sister." Song He responded and went out.

Song Yao put on her clothes, said hello to Xiao Chi, and left the tent.

Song Zizhou had already prepared the horses. Because he was worried about Song Yao going alone, he prepared three horses, and Song Qing also wanted to go with her.

Several people mounted their horses and immediately rushed to the city.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the governor's mansion.

When the guards at the gate of the governor's mansion saw Song Yao and his companions, they stopped them.

Song Yao said, "I want to see your governor!"

"Wait a moment, I'll go in and report."

After the guard said this, he entered the governor's mansion.

Not long after, he came out.

"A few of you, please come in."

Song Yao called Song Zizhou and the others and entered the governor's mansion.

Governor Zhang was waiting in the main hall. When he saw Song Yao coming, he quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the princess."

"Sir Governor, please excuse me," Song Yao said. "Sir Governor, did you kill those three Blood Mist Cult members?"

Governor Zhang said, "They are still in the prison. They will be taken away for execution at 12:30 noon."

Hearing this, Song Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

She said, "Sir Governor, please take us to see them. I have a few questions for them."

"Okay!" After Inspector Zhang agreed, he immediately took them to the dungeon.

The dungeon was dark and damp, and also freezing cold.

Not long after, they arrived at the cell where the three Blood Mist Cult members were imprisoned.

When the three believers saw Song Yao and Inspector Zhang coming, they immediately crawled over and knelt on the ground begging them to spare them.

Song Yao didn't waste any words and asked directly, "Do you know where the other members of the Blood Mist Cult went to Fengzhou? And where your Blood Mist Cult's lair is? If you tell me everything you know, I can consider asking Governor Zhang to spare your life!"

The cultist who spoke last night said, "You won't let us go. Don't even think about deceiving us!"

Song Yao said, "I won't let you go, but I can spare your life. Letting you stay in this cell for the rest of your life is better than death, right?"

The man said, "Then I might as well be dead!"

Song Yao was stunned for a moment, then patiently said, "Don't you still have a wife, children, and elderly parents? If you die, will they be able to rest in peace? If you're alive, at least they can still see you, right?"

The man was stunned. He looked at Song Yao, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Yes, if he were dead, no one would be able to see him, but if he were still alive, he would be able to see his parents, his wife and children!

It was a great blessing for him to see them.

The man said, "Ten people did go to Fengzhou, but we only heard about it. We don't know who went there. Also, the Blood Mist Cult's lair is in the capital."

Song Yao's head buzzed. "What did you say? The Blood Mist Cult's lair is in the capital?!"

Not only Song Yao found it unbelievable, but Song Zizhou and Song Qing also found it incredible.

Back then, the imperial court sent people to strangle the Blood Mist Cult, but who knew that the Blood Mist Cult's lair was actually in the capital?!

If I tell this to others, who would believe it?

Song Yao's face darkened as he asked, "Where is it in the capital? And who is your leader?"

The man remained silent. Another accomplice beside him said, "He is Master Jiang of your Great Dynasty."

"What?" Song Yao's pupils shrank, and her eyes were full of surprise.

"You said that the leader of your Blood Mist Sect is Master Jiang?" Song Zizhou frowned and looked at the man in disbelief.

The man nodded. "That's right! Everyone in the Blood Mist Cult knows about it, but we won't tell anyone else. Your emperor treats our leader as his confidant and listens to whatever he says. How foolish of him!"

Song Yao, Song Zizhou and the others were all dumbfounded. No one had expected that the leader of the Blood Mist Sect would be the current Imperial Master Jiang!

Fortunately, they came to ask, and fortunately, Governor Zhang did not kill them, otherwise, they really would not have known such explosive news.

Song Yao calmed down and looked at Governor Zhang, "Sir Governor, don't kill them, just lock them up. If their families want to visit, allow them to come!"

"Yes, Princess." Governor Zhang nodded.

Then Song Yao and the others left.

Back at the military camp outside the city, Song Yao summoned Xiao Chi, Liu Hu, Xiao Heyu, Xiao Lingan and others to the tent.

Seeing Song Yao's unhappy expression, Liu Hu asked, "Song Yao, what happened?"

Song Yao looked at Liu Hu and the others and said, "Uncle Liu, did you know that Master Jiang is the leader of the Blood Mist Sect?"

"What?" Liu Hu's mind went blank in an instant.

Xiao Lingan frowned. "You said Imperial Master Jiang is the leader of the Blood Mist Cult? How is that possible?"

Xiao Chi said in a stern voice: "Back then, the imperial court was killing the followers of the Blood Mist Sect in various places. How could anyone from the Blood Mist Sect become the Imperial Master?"
